Wednesday, 22. April 2020
Literally millions and millions of people strive to be the next "star" in poker, but here is a short rundown on four of the more noteworthy "charming players" of the game. Granted "nice" is associated with their names when you are sitting accross the table from them it is "no more Mr. Nice guy" up until they have put you out of the competition!
Daniel Negreanu
In Two Thousand and Four, his tourney earnings added up to more than $4.4 million and he won two highly respected awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Preferred Poker Player. Daniel even still has the humility to talk with his fans about how they can improve their own game.
Howard Lederer
Referred to as "The Professor" and sibling of fellow poker pro Annie Duke. His achievements have lead to him making an instructional video called "Secrets of No Limit Hold’em" and also holding a tournament poker show for Fox TV. As of Two Thousand and Five, his complete life winnings exceed $2.7 million.
Scotty Nguyen
Scott is one of the most active players in poker and between Two Thousand to 2004 he finished in the money in well over one hundred events. He’s notorious for saying "yeah baby" during poker games and also credited with the term "that’s poker baby" when referring to a especially bad loss. As of 2006, his career winnings are just about 6 million dollars.
Chris Ferguson
Chris has earned 5 WSOP titles with 2 of his successes coming in Two Thousand and Three. Chris has the alias "Jesus" as a result of his trademark long hair and beard, along with his ability to toss cards fast enough to cut through pickles and bananas. As of 2005 his total live poker tournament winnings exceeded $5 million.
